Dating Websites for Nigerians


originally published October 19, 2009

Here at fabnaija.com, we are interested in not just weddings but the whole wedding process and everything that brings you to that great day – The Wedding Day! As we are currently in the "Engagement Season" if you will, and being single myself, I've been checking out dating websites to see if there's any I can recommend for my fellow fabNigerians.

As you may expect, it takes time, effort and some diligence to actually browse through and determine which of the many websites out there are worth checking out. I think internet dating can be fun and safe if done properly. At all times, please be careful if you decide to date online!
With that little bit of preaching done, I've tried a few websites and here's my take on them.

- www.afrointroductions.com: I actually think this is a decent website. Clean and easy to use. If you're looking to meet a Nigerian, this one does not really have a lot of Nigerians when compared to the other Nationalities, but the site is decent and easy to navigate. It's also quite easy to find the few Nigerians that are on the site. I am quite shocked, though, at the number of Nigerian guys on the site who are over 30 and only have a high school education. 'not quite sure what to make of that, but that's just something I noticed and thought I'd mention about it.

- www.nigeriansconnect.com: don't bother. it's boring and pictures look weird and very few people seem to be using it now anyway.

- www.nigeriansingles.com: I'd heard about this one before, but now it's gone. Not sure what happened to them

The next one I'll try is www.datingcyles.com. This one looks good at least from the front page. I've not registered or anything yet, but as soon as I do, I'll definitely let you have the gist. If you've tried out any, please let us know your take and suggest some to your fellow fabNigerians. I heard there's a lady in Atlanta who runs an executive dating site for Nigerians. If you find the site, please let us know. If we don't find any really good one by the end of the year, we'll just go ahead and create one!

Thank you and happy Halloween in advance to those who celebrate!!

  1. One Problem with this dating websites is the money required before you even begin discussions.Most are unwilling to pay and so a lot of profiles sit there doing nothing
    • money talks right. everyone ….ok most people…. on afro introductions are "Standard" members, which means they can't send e-mails to a "potential." The guys should step o. It does not cost that much…just $20/3 months and you could be talking to the woman of your dreams!

  3. Hi! just came accross this site NCSN – http://www.ncsnonline.com via facebook ads. Is it the new site you are talking about? what is your opinion about it?
    • it's a beautiful site (www.ncsnonline.com), but there aren't that many people on there yet. It also seems to have mostly NIgerians located in Nigeria so if that's where you live, it may not be a bad place to search. I think it's funny that LGA (local government area) is one of the search criteria. just interesting to me is all.
